Cold Plate

I am usually the queen of hot dinners. They seem more comforting, satisfying and substantial.

Tonight, however, I kept things on the cooler side with a chilled plate of BBQ chicken salad and freshly sliced green and red peppers.

BBQ Chicken Salad

Fresh Peppers

I was inspired to include the freshly sliced peppers in my dinner after talking to my sister (remember the one who was confused as to what to eat now that she’s on her own for the first time?). When she mentioned that she included slices of green pepper in her lunch today, I knew I wanted to include them in my dinner.

Cold Plate

My BBQ chicken salad contained:

3 oz. shredded chicken breasts

2 tbsp. BBQ sauce

1 tbsp. light Miracle Whip

Sweet corn

Chopped celery

Dessert

When Ryan and I stopped by the grocery store after work today, something sweet caught my eye.

Marble Cake

I nabbed a piece of marble cake from the Publix Bakery which was the perfect conclusion to my yummy dinner.

About Julie

My name is Julie and I am a full-time blogger, new mama, fitness enthusiast (certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor) and food fanatic (mostly healthy... but also not-so-healthy) living in North Carolina with my husband, dog and baby boy. Thank you for visiting Peanut Butter Fingers! I hope you enjoy little glimpses into my life and have fun trying the sweaty workouts I frequently share and making some of my favorite recipes along the way!

I’m moving in with my boyfriend soon, we’ve spent so much time together that I know exactly what to expect but one thing I’m nervous about is getting us to go to bed at the same time. I love having an early bedtime grandma style, but he’s much more of a night owl. Did you have this issue at all? Or how do you guys “negotiate” a bedtime for both of you?

I usually eat about 1-2 red peppers a day. I just dip them into my mustard concoctions (stoneground, spicy, or yellow etc mustard with sweetener and sometimes sugar free fruit flavored syrup). The ONLY thing missing from your dinner plate: RAVIOLI! Nothing better than left over Ravioli cold with cheese melted on top from the night before. The melted but now ‘hardened’ cold cheese is sooo good on it!!! Have you thought about making your own Ravioli? It’s not too hard and fun to stuff with whatever you want!

Chickens are animals too. And also shrimps. WTF are you thinking by using animal in your recipes? You are making animals to get killed, you know that?

I entered your site thinking this was a cruelty-free site, but now I see that was a mistake. Please STOP KILLING ANIMALS. All animals deserve to live, and we, the humans don’t need to kill them, not even for eat them. Please stop!
